Fantastic and powerful documentary

About a small tribe protecting their land against invaders. They filmed for years as the political climate changed in Brazil, and the COVID changed the trajectory of their fight. You can see pictures or read about the distraction of the Amazon, but nothing compares to a documentary to give you the full picture. Incredible and moving work from everyone involved. Captures some crazy moments and young people who step up in a time of need. Reminiscent of the American west and manifest destiny, but this time the indigenous are fighting back with more than bows and arrows. They have drones and social media show the world what is happing to theirs.
